New Auto: Brabus B63S 700 Widestar

Wednesday, August 28, 2013

Set for a debut at next month’s Frankfurt Motor Show is Mercedes-Benz‘s luxurious – and powerful – Brabus take on its ML63 and GL63 AMG: the B63S 700 Widestar. Replacing and remapping the 5.5 liter twin-turbo V8 engine’s turbochargers, intake, exhaust and ECU, the upscale SUV now boasts 700 horsepower, 708 lb-ft of torque, a top speed of 186 mph, and acceleration from 0 to 62 mph in just 4.4 seconds – more than impressive for an SUV of its size. Further adding to the beast’s impressive look is a new body kit that not only makes the car wider, but also allows for the accommodation of 23″ wheels. While pricing remains unknown, expect more information to become available following its public debut in September.
